The Foundation Of Resilience In God
HEALING FROM TRAUMA WITH GOD’S HELP
 
DAY 1 DEVOTIONAL: THE FOUNDATION OF RESILIENCE IN GOD
 
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE FOCUS: 
Philippians 4:13 (KJV)
 
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Sis, let me speak straight to your heart…
 
Trauma tried to take you out.
 
It tried to leave you broken.
It tried to leave you bitter.
It tried to convince you that healing wasn’t possible for you.
 
BUT HERE YOU ARE.
 
You survived what should’ve destroyed you.
You pushed through what tried to break you down.
And if trauma didn’t win then — it’s sure not about to win now.

Let me tell you something LOUD & CLEAR today:
 
YOU CAN HEAL.
 
YOU WILL HEAL.
 
BUT ONLY THROUGH CHRIST.

Philippians 4:13 is Your Survival Scripture.
 
Sis, this verse was MADE for women like us. Women with stories. Women with wounds. Women with trauma.
 
This scripture is not for the perfect woman — it’s for the woman who’s been through hell and is still standing.
 
This scripture is for YOU.
 
→ YOU can heal from what they did to you.
→ YOU can overcome the childhood trauma that still haunts you.
→ YOU can break the generational curses that have run through your family for years.
→ YOU can forgive, release, move forward, and BECOME everything God has called you to be.
 
But not in your strength. Not in your own power.
 
ONLY through CHRIST.

Why Healing From Trauma Without God’s Help Will Never Work…
 
Because trauma affects more than your emotions — it affects your SPIRIT.
It damages how you see yourself.
It damages how you trust.
It damages how you love.
 
And sis, only GOD can go that deep.
 
Only God can reach those broken places that nobody else even sees.
 
Therapy helps.
Talking helps.
Journaling helps.
 
BUT GOD HEALS.
 
Without God — we cope.
 
With God — we are COMPLETELY HEALED AND RESTORED.

This Scripture is Not a Suggestion — It’s a WEAPON.
 
Every lie trauma told you — fight it with this word:
“I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.”
 
Every time your past tries to haunt you — fight back:
“I CAN HEAL THROUGH CHRIST.”
 
Every time the enemy whispers “you’ll never be whole” — SHOUT BACK:
“I CAN OVERCOME THROUGH CHRIST.”

Reflection Time Sis… Be Real With Yourself:
  • What have you been trying to heal from WITHOUT God?
  • What areas of your life still feel broken, numb, or painful?
  • What would it look like to stop fighting alone and let God take over?

Today’s Bold Truth For You To Hold Onto:
 
You were NEVER created to heal alone.
 
Healing is not about being strong enough — healing is about being surrendered enough.
 
God never asked you to do this by yourself.
 
He is your Healer.
He is your Strength.
He is your Safe Place.
He is your Rescuer.
 
And He is READY to help you HEAL.

Final Charge For You Today:
 
Sis, you’ve cried long enough.
You’ve carried it long enough.
You’ve survived long enough.
 
NOW IT’S TIME TO HEAL.
 
And you CAN.
 
Because through Christ — ALL things are possible… even healing from trauma.

From Chains to Change — How God Redeemed My Life

Hey, Resilient Woman — Your Healing Starts Here

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and turn it into a story of strength, purpose, and redemption. I’ve walked through the fire — addiction, trauma, loss, and pain that tried to silence my purpose — but God’s grace met me in the ashes and taught me how to rise.

I know what it feels like to be broken, to question your worth, and to wonder if freedom is even possible. But I also know what it means to encounter the healing power of God — the kind that restores what was stolen, rewrites your identity, and breathes new life into weary hearts.

Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I’ve made it my mission to walk beside women like you — women who are ready to break cycles, renew their minds, and rediscover the woman God created them to be. This is not about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about learning that your past does not define you — God’s promise does.

As a Certified Addiction Counselor and Faith-Based Recovery Coach, I don’t just offer sessions; I offer safe spaces — places where healing is nurtured, faith is strengthened, and transformation begins from the inside out.

I believe every woman has a comeback story waiting to be written — and I’m here to help you write yours. Because if God could redeem my life, He can surely restore yours. 

Healing is possible. Hope is real. Freedom is yours — and it starts with saying yes.

With love and grace,

Dashonia Marie

Founder, Encouraging Her Resilience
Certified Addiction Counselor & Recovery Coach
